The vineyard has more than tripled in size at 9.5 acres and consists of white and red cultivars that are well adapted to the continental climate of Centre County and to the limestone soils of our farm. Enologists state that "wine is made in the vineyard" so we have been growing premium grapes that produce wines with distinctive varietal character.
The winery was built in the summer of 2010 and our first vintage followed in the fall of 2010. We grow 90% of the grapes that we use to make our wine so we consider ourselves "Farm to Bottle". Since we grow over 10 different cultivars we can produce many different wines of varying styles. Anything from dry fruity whites to oaky full-bodied reds, of course every one's favorite Appalachia Red which is a sweet blend, and even an award-winning Ice Wine.
Our gorgeous timber frame tasting room was completed in January of 2013. Wines can be purchased by the glass, the bottle, and case. Our patio is a great place to enjoy your favorite glass of Happy Valley in the summer months. The tasting room can also be rented out for events and parties year-round. We feature live music in the tasting room every Friday from 6:00pm-8:00pm year-round.
